It's a....................



Baby Girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!







We are having a girl. The ultrasound wasn't the greatest because there was alot of fluid in front of our baby girl, but it was good enough to tell what we are having. I knew all along that it would be a sweet little girl. And I guess most of you who voted knew too.

Grammy Carrie Came And Visited

Grammy Carrie came and visited us for a couple of days this week and we had such a fun time just hanging out and re-learning how to make chicken noodle soup and cherry pie. She hitched a ride with my aunt Alice and grandma Delsa on there way to Tuachan to watch a couple of plays. Blake had soo much fun playing with "Grammy Carrie" that he had such a sad look on his face when she had to leave. We had to keep reminding him that he would see her again next weekend when her and Grandpa Dave stop by on their way to Vegas. It took him a couple of hours but he eventually cheered up. Thanks Grammy Carrie for coming and visiting us.
The whole weekend Blake was pretending that this Mountain Dew box was a house and his crayons where living in the house. The little handle there is the door and we had to knock on the door to come in.

Blake got a hold of the camera and took a couple (really about 30!) pictures. This one we call "Grandma Carrie on a Wall".
Isn't she precious? She is going to kill me when she sees that I have posted this forever on our blog for all the world to see. Clover has still been really sick and her blood pressure is high so keep her and the baby in your prayers. We are amazed at how many people think that we are going to have a girl. It is almost odd to see because we put a poll on the Erickson family website and the majority of people think that it is a girl. We can find out in the next 2-3 weeks so we will keep you posted.

Long Time No Post

We apologize for the lack of posting, but we have been quite busy over the last month. School started as you saw from the previous posts, and Blake and I have been busy doing homework and taking tests. We went to the Kay and Delsa Erickson family reunion over the Labor Day weekend. Blake had soo much fun playing with all of his cousins. Clover has been busy growing a baby as you can see from the post. She has not been feeling great lately, but we both have to remind ourselves that it will all be worth it in the end. We were soo excited to see our little baby and see little hands and feet. The baby was moving all over the place and we told he/she to enjoy the space while it was there because it was going to get cramped in a little while. Clover is about 14 weeks along so in about 6 more weeks we should be able to find out whether we are having a boy or girl.

Too Cool for School

Blake's flashing is "check me out" pose. Isn't he the cutest preschooler you ever saw!?! In his first day of school outfit. He is all jazzed and ready to go to Three Peaks Preschool. He couldn't leave without putting on his cool shades. He is getting so big and hansome, I have to admit that I got a little emotional. No I did not cry (there's no crying in preschool!!) But after a great first day, I'm really excited for all the fun things Blake will get to do and learn.
Check out are back sides as we walk into school. Don't ya just love his backpack, cause he sure does!!

Here is Blake with his teacher Mrs. Carolyn. When Blake got home today he couldn't stop talking about all the fun things they did. I asked "did you have fun at school?" Blake's reply "YEAH". Then I asked,"did you color?" Blake "I draw'd a bee (we're not sure if he meant a bee or a B). Then he says "I had milk and cookies, and play'd and went down the slide"!!

About Us

My photo
Clover, Blake and I continue to reside in Cedar City, Utah while pursueing an education and working. I just finished my second year at Southern Utah University. I thought I had decided on a career in Human Resourses but the company I work for got rid of all their HR and I have heard that other companies are doing the same thing, so I am still trying to decide but I am leaning towards something in business. Clover continues to do the painstaking job of raising a three year old. It appears that he has hit the terrible twos a year late. We still believe that he is the cutest kid ever. We are happy with life and continue to try and draw closer to our Heavenly Father in these trying times. We want to let everyone out there know that we think about them and hope that everyone is doing great.
